OKLAHOMA CITY - Manufacturer 3M is ready to roll out a compressed natural gas storage tank that is cheaper, lighter and holds more fuel than similar tanks, the Minnesota-based company announced Tuesday.
“We are enthusiastic about the future of natural gas vehicles and are proud to introduce this tank to help companies take advantage of the benefits of natural gas as a transportation fuel,” 3M executive Mike Roman said in a news release.
“With a tank that will help provide more range and more payload capacity at less expense, CNG vehicles are now an even more attractive alternative for fleet and individual retail customers alike.”
3M's tank, created as part of a year-old partnership with Chesapeake Energy Corp., will be showcased next month at the NTEA Work Truck Show in Indianapolis.
